Relaxed Bryant ready to make a bigger impact Sunday

With his debut out of the way, rookie receiver Dez Bryant suggested it won’t be long before he makes a major impact.

Bryant tied a franchise-rookie record with eight receptions for 56 yards against Washington. He didn’t have any drops, but his performance was marred by communication issues with quarterback Tony Romo.

“It was OK, but I felt like it could have been a lot better,” Bryant told reporters Friday in Irving.

Bryant said he’ll play with more confidence against the Bears.

“I was, I don’t want to say nervous (against the Redskins), but I had the jitters,” he said. Since I got that one out of the way, I’m back to my old self.”
